Entity Description

This point entity issues commands to the client console as if they were typed manually by the player. The client commands are sent as parameters of the Command input. One instance of the entity is ever needed in a map.

In multiplayer games, the commands are only executed on the Activator's client. If the activator was not a player, then it simply won't do anything (unless it's in commentary mode; then the command will be executed from the first player).

Players also using Point_clientcommand for Black side cheating, because with it someone can change: Player name, Player client commands and make him telling to chat something.
